If you want to get some actual serious discussion on altcoin-related threads, it might be better to just post them in the altcoin service discussion boards, if applicable.
That's somewhat of a workaround I've found.
Aside from that, I think it would be more useful to focus on reporting spamming users than to just report threads.
Most of the spammers there have post histories that would be eligible for a ban, I think.
Since the implementation of the Jr member merit requirement I can delete most of the users replies as the majority of users are Newbies. However, there are several high ranked members breaking the rules constantly over there too. I think the section lacks a few categories which would help organize it better as there is currently a vast amount of subjects which fit into a generic section. That, and the amount of users that are posting there makes it difficult to manage, and view.
